Free Spotlight

Are you an LDS* author of fiction?

Has your FICTION book been published this year?

Then you can (probably) have a FREE spotlight post on this website!

The main focus of this site are the newly released fiction spotlight posts. These are NOT reviews. They are simply an announcement that your book exists. Visitors to the site are encouraged to leave reviews in the comments and to give books star ratings.

Books are posted by year, on or near their release date. Posts are frequently backdated to maintain release order.

Books may be published by either a traditional LDS publisher, a national (non-LDS) publisher, or self-published.

Books must be available for sale at Amazon.com**, as a printed book or as a professionally created e-book.***

Reprints or re-released novels are not eligible, unless significant revisions have been made. (If this is the case, please let me know when requesting a post.) Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.

Get a My Book Ratings for your book. This is a FREE service (you do NOT need to get the paid version) and it helps match readers with content preferences. It may take a few days for this rating to go live on their site. You will need the link to your book rating for the Application form. (Click here for info on why I’m using this rating system.)

Not LDS?: Ooops, sorry! Hopefully it’s not offensive that you were mistakenly listed here. I try to verify this when encountering a new author but sometimes I can’t. I trust what my readers tell me. If you’re not LDS or no longer LDS, let me know and I’ll delete your post. I have sister sites that focus on other niche markets unrelated to religion. Read “Meet the Geek” for links to other current sites.

Offensive Material: Not all of the books posted here are fully in line with LDS standards of conduct or morality. When I become aware of books that may have offensive material (swearing, violence, immorality), I will post a content warning on that book’s post. If I discover that a book promotes or celebrates behavior that is outside LDS standards or grossly offensive to most of my readers, I will remove the book from this site.

Whitney Affiliation: There is no direct affiliation between NewLDSfiction.com and the Whitney Awards/Committee. A post on NewLDSfiction.com does NOT mean your book has been nominated for a Whitney Award, nor does it mean it is eligible for a Whitney Award.

So do you qualify?
